An Entity of Type: Icebreaker, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Polar-class icebreakers USCGC Polar Star (WAGB-10), USCGC Polar Sea (WAGB-11) are heavy icebreakers operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). These cutters, specifically designed for icebreaking, have reinforced hulls, special icebreaking bows, and a system that allows rapid shifting of ballast to increase the effectiveness of their icebreaking. The vessels conduct Arctic and Antarctic research and are the primary icebreakers that clear the channel into McMurdo Station for supply ships. All are homeported in Seattle, Washington.

  • Třída Polar je třída těžkých ledoborců Pobřežní stráže Spojených států. V letech 1976–1978 byly do služby zařazeny dvě jednotky této třídy, které patří k nejsilnějším ledoborcům na světě s konvenčním (nejaderným) pohonem. Tato plavidla, přímo navržená pro působení na otevřeném moři, mají zesílený trup, speciální příď a systém, který umožňuje rychlý přesun balastu pro efektivnější rozbíjení ledu. Lodě se podílejí na arktickém i antarktickém výzkumu, působí také jako hlavními plavidla pro údržbu průlivu ke stanici McMurdo. Jejich domovským přístavem je Seattle. (cs)
  • Polar-class icebreakers USCGC Polar Star (WAGB-10), USCGC Polar Sea (WAGB-11) are heavy icebreakers operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

The vessels conduct Arctic and Antarctic research and are the primary icebreakers that clear the channel into McMurdo Station for supply ships. All are homeported in Seattle, Washington. In addition to the two Polar-class icebreakers, the USCG has a third polar-capable icebreaker, USCGC Healy (WAGB-20). Both Polar Star and Polar Sea are near the end of their effective lifetimes, and have spent years moored because they were in need of expensive and unbudgeted upgrades.In November 2013 four senators proposed an amendment to the authorizing the construction of four new Polar-class vessels, at a cost of $850 million each.The four senators sponsoring the amendment were Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, from Washington, and Mark Begich and Lisa Murkowski, from Alaska. According to the Seattle Times the chances that the amendment will survive into the bill, as passed, are slim.On February 22, 2017, the U.S Coast Guard announced it had awarded five fixed-price contracts worth $20 million for the future heavy polar icebreaker design studies and analysis.The icebreakers are being replaced by 3 heavy and 3 medium icebreakers as part of the Polar icebreaker program. On May 18, 2017, Adm. Paul Zukunft said that due to changes in the Arctic, the Coast Guard may have to increase the number of the future icebreakers, and the future icebreakers may have a requirement for space, weight, and power reserved for offensive and defensive weaponry which may include an anti-ship missile package.
